[The view suddenly became clear.]

[The infinite principles of Tao are revealed.]

[Your index finger, which was pointing between his eyebrows, continued forward, while the other four fingers of your hand spread out, transforming into a gentle, large hand that caressed the top of his head.]

"My child, now I will bless you."

"You will be my first apostle upon entering the world."

"You will join me in accomplishing a great undertaking."

Before Bai Bing Immortal Lord's eyes, the Dao principles were in disarray. He subconsciously asked, "Then, what should we do?"

"Follow me, I will relieve your suffering."

You look up at the sky, but your gaze has already pierced through this tiny celestial realm, reaching the endless distance, the other side of the starry sky.

"Tell me, how many living beings are there in this universe?"

Immortal Lord Bai Bing exclaimed in horror, "That's impossible!"

"To transport all living beings in the universe to beyond the universe—such power would probably require the legendary Great Luo Golden Immortal to accomplish!"

Even a powerful ancient god like the Lord of the Star River would be hampered if he were to carry a world ten light-years in size into the cosmic membrane at once, causing his speed to drop drastically to below the speed of light!

"Could it be... that you're going to desperately increase your essence to create an unparalleled True Immortal with countless trillions of Dao power?"

"Even, the Lord of the Universe?"

"But child, I am different."

"There's nothing I can't do here."

"Here, I am everything."

[You should quietly observe him; Immortal Lord Bai Bing's perspective is too limited.]

He has no way of knowing how many people you can add points to at once.

[You can currently output a maximum of 479% of your essence at a time. For someone whose essence has increased by over a billion times, this is just a drop in the ocean, a quantity that can naturally increase over eight or nine years.]

However, for others, this is tantamount to directly creating countless super immortals capable of observing the laws of the Dao.

"I almost forgot, he can perform essential allocation at the decimal point level."

[You can even do more—you can currently increase or decrease the essence of a single individual by a maximum of about 16% at a time, and you can use the Return to Truth method once a week, meaning you can increase its essence by up to eight times a year!]

The higher one's inherent nature, the more efficient one's enlightenment will be!

Even a True Immortal with 1000 times the comprehension ability can only increase their Dao power by 1 point per year while in a state of enlightenment.

However, 2000 times the comprehension can only increase one's power by a maximum of 2 units within a year!

However, the above refers to "the most".

[Because while a true immortal comprehends the principles of the Dao, they must also replicate those principles and add them to their own Dao fruit; they must transform them into their own to increase their power.]

[However, there is an upper limit to this replication speed. For example, a newly promoted True Immortal with 1 Dao Power, even if their comprehension is a million times that of an ordinary person, can only increase their Dao Laws by the equivalent of one point of Dao Power in a year at most.]

"This increase in Dao power is a base value, which can be raised to ten or one hundred points by my essence."

However, when his total strength reaches 10 Dao Power, he can replicate Dao Laws equivalent to a maximum of 2 points of Dao Power per year; when his total strength reaches 100 Dao Power, he can replicate Dao Laws equivalent to 3 points of Dao Power per year, and so on.

However, there's one point: when that True Immortal's comprehension is still only 1000 times, or even just infinitely close to 1000 times, no matter how high their strength was at the time, in the state of enlightenment, they can only increase their Dao power by one point per year. This is because although their replication speed has increased, their comprehension speed remains stagnant!

Just like the shortest plank in a bucket principle, the lower your strength, the slower you can replicate the Dao principles; and when your comprehension is low, it will hinder your speed of understanding.

Choose the lowest value from the two!

The former (Dao Power) is like the speed at which you absorb the primordial energy of heaven and earth during cultivation; the higher your cultivation level, the faster you can absorb it. The latter (Comprehension) represents the speed at which the primordial energy of heaven and earth is replenished; regardless of your cultivation level, your absorption speed can never exceed the rate at which the primordial energy is replenished!

And your essence can be enhanced in both directions!

[You can increase the comprehension of True Immortals, accelerating their rate of enlightenment! At the same time, the higher their inherent nature, although the number of Dao principles they comprehend remains the same, the higher the Dao power provided by each Dao principle, allowing them to replicate Dao principles even faster!]

"If one's essence can increase eightfold in a year, then in a million years it would be eight millionfold. Eight millionfold increase in essence brings two hundredfold increase in comprehension, meaning that one can increase the equivalent of two hundred points of Dao principles each year at most."

"...There aren't that many, are there? The upper limit to the speed of this Dao principle replication increases exponentially. It takes 10 Dao power to replicate 2 points a year, and 100 million Dao power can only replicate 9 points a year. It still takes time."

"I wonder how much Dao power a typical Universe Lord needs to comprehend?"

Yun Shou thinks... even the most garbage universe would have at least several billion, right?

"Assuming the total number of Dao principles in the Light Dust Source Soup is 3 billion, then over the next 9 million years, an average of 300 Dao principles need to be comprehended each year."

That means 1e299 units of Dao power are needed.

He felt that this would be somewhat difficult.

Uh, no, it's completely impossible!

Even if the difference in combat power between Twelve and One Thorn is currently only about 3e27 times.

If the Thorn Demon King can copy a maximum of one unit of Dao Principle per year, then with Twelve's current power, he can only copy a maximum of 20 units at a time!

Within your heart lie three paths, three different paths, each offering hope of saving the universe and all living beings.

The third path is so extreme and pushes you to the limit that you really wouldn't want to take it unless it's absolutely necessary.

Moreover, that path can only be taken at the very last moment.

"Click to parry when the enemy is about to attack?"

"Or, when your health is almost depleted, use the skill 'Great Self-Destruct'?"

As for the two paths mentioned earlier, we can take them together.

[A project you call the "Eternal End Creation Project"—you intend to forcibly create a Lord of the Universe to prevent the end of this universe!]

[It might be you, it might be someone else.]

[You learned a lot of information during the time you had previously foreseen.]

For example, if a universe does not give birth to an Eighth-Level Universe Lord, it will collapse and self-destruct after expanding to its limit, with an average lifespan of approximately trillions of years.

After collapsing back to its origin, and countless billions of years later, it will be reborn in a new form, as a completely new universe.

Yun Shou: "Good heavens, I wasn't wrong before."

"I just don't know if this new universe can inherit the principles of the Dao that I comprehended in the old universe... If it can, then it will be much easier to grind."
